REPENTANCE Is always hi order
with political sinners , but when
wicked political conspirators like
Boss Cunningham and Tom. Ken-
nard mount the mourner's bench ,
honest people are forced to doubt
the nincerity of their motives. And
this is why the Republican commit
tee shelved Tom Kennard's resolu
tions of repentance , which denoun
ced the last apportionment as unfair
and inequitable. That apportion
ment was a job put up by Yost ,
Cunningham & Co. , and the people
will hardly thank them for their
hypocritical repentance at this late
day.
THE editor of the Republican , is
a constitutional falsifier. Yesterday
he telegraphed to his paper that
Ilosewatei was an Interloper at the
meeting of the Republican State
Central Committee in the face of
the fact that his own paper has for
weeks kept a call at the head of its
editorial columns , in which Rosewater -
water Is advertised as a member
of the committee. To-day this
shameless falsifier has the
brazen Impudence to say that Mr.
Miliard expressed a willingness at
the meeting of the Republican State
Central Committee to submit the
question of the legitimacy of one of
the two Douglas County Central
Committees to the arbitration of
that body. We dare him to pro-
.jluce such a statement over Mr.
Milliard'a signature. Everybody
vbo was present at that meeting
knows that Mr. Millard most em
phatically declined to submit to ar
bitration , and he denied the author
ity of the Slate Central Committee
to lake any action in the matter.
Bo s Cunningham is also quoted
It ? the Republican as favoring the
j > oposetl arbitration , provided both
ji rites should accept the arbilra-
* ' -nl. This is equally false. BORS
niningbuuij as well as Mr. Mil-
3 < ! , disputed the jurisdiction' the
f mmittee , and even if hejiad pre-
7-nded to favor this arbitrament ,
3 ss pretense would have been a
f aucparent sham , inasmuch as Mil-
1 r l had publicly objected to he ar
i I'ration , giving as one of his reas-

MR. GANKETfS LETTEK.
The letter of resignation address
ed to the Douglas County Hayes and
Wheeler Club by Hon. J. W. Gan
nett , one of tne vice-presidents of
that organization , has created apro-
iound sensation not only in the club ,
but in this entire community. The
reasons [ assigned by Mr. Gannett
for this step , and the sentiments ex
pressed by him muat meet the un
qualified approval of every Repub
licau who desires to elevate Repub
licanism to its former standard of
honesty , decency and morality. In
fact this letter should be accepted as
a text for those who look to self-
purificaatlciiwithiu.the party RS the
means for bringing about the re
forms demanded by the people.
The idea that any man no matter
how vile his associations and how
low his moral character should be
accepted as a leader of the party be
cause he can do dirty work
is a proposition which every
decent man will scout. The
language used by Mr. Gaunett
may be strong , but it strikes to the
very root of the evil which has
been sapping the foundation of the
Republican party for six years past.
It is In full accord with the letter of
acceptance of Governor Hayes ,
who struck a deadly blow at par-
tfzan bummerism when he declared
that under his admiuistratian every
federal employe will be expected to
devote his entire time to his official
duties.
Every honest Republican must
concede that the cause of Hayes
and Wheeler cannot be advanced
by pandering to grog shop politi
cians or by the elevation of notorious
rious shysters to the leader
ship of organizations which have
for their chief object the reclama
tion of those who , from various
causes , have become dissatisfied
with our party. This class of Re
publicans will accept the letter of
Mr. Gannett and the action of the
Douglas county club as a harbinger
of better days , and of a republican
ism which does not descend to the
gutter for the sake of making votes.
A DOUGLAS County Republican
propounds the following question to
us : " Why was Lancaster county
allowed fifteen delegates to the next
ilei'ublican State Convention while
Douglas county only has fourteen ? "
This is a pertinent question and
we therefore propose to answer it.
The apportionment for the State
Convention was made upon the
basis of the Republican vote polled
for Mr. Holmes ono of the univer
sity regents elected in October 1875.
Mr. Holmes was selected because
the vote polled for him appeared to
be nearer to the average Republican
vote than that of any other candi
date. It was however tacitly
agreed by the apportionment com-
inUtee , whenever a very material
discrepancy appeared between the
vote polled by Holmes in any coun
ty , as compared with other candi
dates , the representation of that
county should be regulated by the
average vote of the six regents. It
so happened that Lancaster was the
only county wherein a very material
discrepancy did occur. In that
county three of the regents , in
cluding Holmes , polled over 2,000
votes , while the three others polled
only between 1,500 and 1,600 each.
The committee , therefore , averaged
the entire vote , and this gave Lan
caster thirteen delegates.
After this had been agreed ou ,
Tom Kennard put in a claim lor
two more votes , on the ground that
Lancaser should have the benefit of
her heavy vote for Holmes. This
unreasonable demand was resisted
by the editor of the BEE , who was
a member of the apportionment
committee , but inasmuch as Mr.
Millard , who also represented , or
rather misrepresented Douglas coun
ty hi the apportionment committee ,
consented to Kennard'a demand ,
: he committee finally conceded
what everybody recognized as an in-
ustice to the other counties. Mr.
Millard's course in this matter us
in the matter of the proposed arbi
tration for Douglas county seemed
purely in the interest of Hitchcock.
Boss Cunningham expects to carry
Lancaster county ; for Hitchcock ,
hence Millard was " "willing to gfve
Lancaster county more than she
was justly entitled to. And ffiis is
why Douglas county has been put
> elow .Lancaster 111 the new appor-
ionmont. With this tingle excep-
ion the new apportionment is fair
and equitable to all sections of the
State , and we have no doubt will
ive universal satisfaction.
TILDEN and Heudricks are bav-
tig another consultation over their
forthcoming letters of acceptance.
Eendrlcks , who is naturally soft , is
said to nave finally yielded to the
pressure of Tilden , and he will come
out in favor of hard money. If
ie does , the soft-money Democracy
of Indiana will be disgusted and
sompletely demoralized , while the
liard money Democracy of New
York will look upon his professed
augo of heart as a piece of con
temptible jugglery.
THE Democratic congressional
ciucus has decided in favor of the
proposed repeal of the resumption
act. It is , however , intimated that
this action will not be considered as
binding by the Tilden wing of the
party , who have heretofore opposed
such a measure as a step toward in
flation. It now remains to bo seen
whether the Hendricks wing will
be able to whip in these rehels.

Jellerson county Nebraska like
all other parts of the state is a mag
nificent farming country. Well
watered by the Little Blue and
other minor streams , large tracts of
land abounding in excellent pastur
age , render it particularly well ad
apted to stock raising.

Crops in this locality never were
better , and while all other crops are
very good indeed , the prospects for
an abundant yield of corn Is exceed
iugly fine.
FAIRBUKY
the county seat of Jefferson is in
many respects the most business
little city In southern Nebraska.
At present its location is such that
it not only receives the trade from a
large scope of country in iisown
state , but , being the nearest railroad
point to the bordering counties of
Kansas , it commands an immense
trade from that portion of that state.
It is celebrated for being the best
grain market in Nebraska. In this
line it supports two large elevators ,
which buy and ship sixty car loads
of grain per mouth. The large

tured and shipped last year 40,000
sacks o' flour.
The number of hotels , including
eating houses , are four , theTremont

to its retired locality , we predict a
handsome custom in the near
future. At

- Eight years ago the population of
this county could be numbered by
less than a score of families. At
the present time it is estimated that
It contains a population of 5,550.
Considering that it is an inland
county , with nothing to enhance its
value except the intrinsic merit of
soil and climate , the increased num
ber of population is remarkable *
The crop of wheat is very nearly cut
and stacked. Itarley and rye also
awaits the thresher. Oats in many
portions are later and the farmers
have a week more of busy work to
save a splendid harvest of small
grains. There are many fields of
Sax in the county , and some com
plaint is being made that the flax
seed imported from the east has
brought in the chinch bug. At any
rate the chinch , bug is in this
county , although no real danger Is
reported by any party. The serious
drawback to this county is its dis
tance from a market and want of
transportation for wood or coal
It is in this county and others ad
joining where one can realize the

to that little Plaint , or else tr&pi

AN OPEN LETTER TO X ATUS C.
BROOKS.
OMAHA , July 28,1876.
o Uatus C. Brooks , Editor of Re-
pub'ican :
When you arrived in Omaha to
take charge of the Republican , it
was hoped by the better class of
citizens that a better era in journal
ism would dawn on the city. One
of your first editorials was full of
professions of your intentions to
avoid personalities , and furnish a
paper fit to be read in Christian
families. Our faith in your honesty
of intention was somewhat strained
to be sure , for you in that very same
editorial called a rival editor a
"skunk. "
.brom that very hour you lowered
the tone of the paper from what it
had been in the hands of Hon. Ben.
H. Bariows , until oue of the friends
of the paper wrote a letter to you ,
which you published , protesting
against filling the paper with vile
epithets against political opponents ,
to which letter you replied , apolo
gized and promised to reform.
Then the respectable Republican" ,
thinking that you were really sin
cere and would reform , bore in
silence what had passed and hoped
ont But now , after several mouths
of trial , what have we to expect ?
The Chicago limes in the
years that have passed has had at
times an unenviable reputation for
slandering respectable citizens , but
I defy any man to produce a copy
of the Chicago limes , equal in the
vileness of its attacks upon personal
character to the paper you issued on
last Wednesday morning.
In the first place you gave the
use of your columns to a name
less wretcn whom ninety-live
respectable citizens of Omaha last
night branded as "the worst
political shyster , that has dis
graced the state of Nebraska , "
and allowed him in the journal
which you control , to accuse mo of
being infected with a loathsome
disease.
Now , Mr. Brooks , I defy you to
point to so infamous a thing in the
history of journalism. Point to the
case , if you can , where any other
newspaper in the United States ever
become so degraded as to accuse
publicly a pastor of a. church of such
infamous things upon the unsup
ported word of such a man. .Mo ,
sir ; Datus C. Brooks is the omy
editor who ever sank so low , and
the Omaha Republican is the only
paper that has ever become so total
ly depraved as to be the channel for
such vileuess to fiow in.
As to the accusations of the other
writer , everybody of a year's resi
dence in this city knows them to
be false. Many persons around
your office , if not yourself , know
them to be false As a specimen ,
he says that I preferred charges
against a Rev. Mr. White , which is
infamously false. I never preferred
charges against him. The charges
were presented by one of the pre
siding elders , Rev. Mr. Pritchard ,
and I was appointed counsel by a
vote of the annual conference to
prosecute him. For these infamous
libels you are personally responsible
by your editorial endorsements.
The result is that all respectable
men are Seeing from the political
faction to which you belong , and ,
Christian men ; if they handle the
vile sheet you edit at all , are inclin
ed to use a pair of tongs.
Yours truly ,

expense several thoroughbred An

Last week Mr. f Sickles , chief en
gineer of the Union Pacific accom
panied by Mr. Pontez , the com
pany's chemist and several other
gentlemen made a practical exam
ination of the Wyoming soda lakes
near Laramie. The Laramie Sen
tinel says : Mr. Sickles had an im
plement for boring through and as
certaining theamouut , and oue of
the lakes was tested by boring a
hole through the solid soda in four
different places. It was found to
average about eight feet in thick
ness. This lake contains about
sixty acres. There are two others
yet to bo examined. A rough es
timate of the quantity shows that it
would yeld five hundred tons per
week for nine years. This , with
the fact too that it is all the time
forming faster than it could be
hauled away by the U. P. R. E.
seems to us a sufficient quantity to
start on.
The question of the Soda Reduc
tion Works is now only waiting the
arrival of President Dillon to com
plete the arrangements and com
mence operations. The gentlemen
who own the Soda Lakes , have
made a proposition to Mr. Sickles ,
which , we believe is a fair one , aud
will probably be satisfactory to the
company , and , it is believed , there
is now no obstacle to a speedy pros
ecution of the work.
Mr. oickles thinks the furnaces
can be built , and the whole thing
put in operation , in from 60 to 90
days. The works will probably be
built on the river , perhaps up near
the tie flume , where it will be con
venient to water aud lime stone.
It is thought that a manufactory
of this kind would be able to utilize

would make it a matter of public
interest to the whole Territory. The
penitentiary is the heaviest burden
the tax-payers have to carry , and in
this particular the railroad company ,
a * the heaviest tax-payer , is most of
anybody interested.
